Well, here it is! The story that I have been waiting to post for soooo long. It really is fun writing in this format btw! I hope that you like it! This sort of carries on where my last fic, Lily, a Stag and a castle left off, however, if you haven't read that one then it doesn't really matter, not much rests on it…all that you've really got to know is that Lily is with James, Sirius, Remus and Peter are all with Ocs, Dani, Ella and Margaret. They are living at the headquarters of the order of the phoenix. (Not Grimauld place)

The official documents of the order Of The Phoenix

Transcriber: James Potter

Date: 1st August 1978

Well, it is the first day of our new life.

Oh James stop being so melodramatic. It's not like it's the end of the world. The whole time we were at Hogwarts we were complaining about not being able to do anything for the Order, and now that we're a part of all the action you want to go back to the bloody castle!

I know but it's hard. Knowing that we wont be going back there ever again.

No one might be going back there again. Dumbledore told us that there's talk of closing the school for good. It might not open after the summer ends.

Why are you telling me that Lily? I was there, I know all of this.

And I know that this is going to be the first day of our new life, but you had no problem mentioning that, did you? I stated it for the exact same reason as you did; this record isn't for us to talk to each other in James Potter, it's to keep an up to date record of what we are doing to fight Voldermort, and what he's been doing, and all the important missions that we go on, and what happens to our friends…

Still worrying about that are you?

Well they have been gone for an awfully long time James.

Calm down Lily- she's talking about Peter Petigrew and her friend Margaret. They've been gone for a while now, out on a mission from Dumbledore, we thought, but it doesn't seem like that's where he is…

What if he's got them James?

I thought that this record wasn't meant to be somewhere for us to talk Lilykins?

I'm serious-

Yeah, well I'm Regulus.

James!

Ok, Ok, well sod off then so that I can tell what's been happening, and our dear reader, who will most likely be us, laughing at whatever stupid things we've done in the past, or some brave historian researching the noble life of the infamous auror James Potter.

Sorry for the interruption. At the mention of the possibility of me becoming an auror Lily Evans, who is sitting on the other bed at headquarters, burst out into uncontrollable laughter, and I had to excuse myself for the briefest of moments to throw a perfectly aimed pillow at her. Remus Lupin, who is coincidently in the bed across from us, told us to both grow up, and Lily stopped laughing immediately. I think she's a little scared of Remus lately. I think we all are, in a way. He knows that Voldermort's recruiting werewolves, and he's under a lot of pressure to join the other side. I know that Moony would no sooner go over to the dark side than try to climb the Whomping willow, but it still upsets him. I think that it upsets Ella too. Maybe that's what's upsetting him. I should really talk to the guy, but I can't do that sort of thing. Talk about feelings and stuff. I might get Lily to do it for me, later. He'll talk to her.

You want me to talk to Remus?

How the hell did you do that?

Protean charm. I can write on my paper, and it changes on the main one. The master copy.

You can do a protean charm?

Course I can. We were taught it last year.

I know, but I could never get it…bloody hard, isn't it. You look beautiful by the way, sitting over there…

You can't use this record as another way to flirt with me James! You've got me already, now stop trying and be serious! And don't you try and change that so that it's funny, just because your best friend has a weird first name.

Lily! I hadn't even told the record about Sirius yet! You spoilt it all! I was only up to Remus!

Wow, you did Remus before Sirius. I'm sure Padfoot wouldn't be too happy about that…

Oh Shush. Now stop writing or I'll have to block the charm you put on the bloody paper.

You don't know how Prongs

Go!

Ok, now the report on what we have each been assigned to do.

Lily, Moony, Ella and I are here, at head quarters. Lily is doing some research or something for Dumbledore. Said he wants a second opinion about something, and that he needs her to give it to him. I have no idea what that's about, but I know that he's getting Fawkes to pick her up in the morning, and I doubt that she'll be aloud to tell me what they've been doing all day. I hate it when Lily has to keep things from me. It makes me feel like a stupid fifteen year old again.

Aw, James…

Stop it Lil!

Sorry, but that was sweet. I'll write it in here, whatever I do. Cause that's what Dumbledore wants us to do. He said that in the future he's sure that certain people will want to know what we've been up to. Could help them and all. Doesn't that annoy you? When it seems like he know so much, and won't tell you, for your own good?

Yes, yes it does. Thanks for that actually Lily, saved me from writing all the boring stuff.

Your welcome. I'll bugger off now.

Thanks

Well, what was I saying? Oh yes, so that's what Lily will be doing. I, for the moment, have been told to do nothing but record what ever goes on, which is unnerving, and irritating, but I guess that he says it's going to be important, so I should be glad that I am aloud to do something. Only wish I could get more interesting tasks, like Lily.

Or Sirius and Danielle for that matter. They're out at the moment, under cover. Sounds like something out of one of those muggle cop shows that Petunia Evans watches, doesn't it?

Anyway, I don't know what they've been up to yet, but Sirius sounded very pleased about it in his last letter, They've been gone a month or so. We've been with our families, packing to come here and what not, but Sirius told Dumbledore that he would start right away, as he didn't have any real wish to go back to his family and say goodbye, and of course, Dani wasn't going to let him go alone, so now the two of them are out on some dangerous mission.

I guess that I know why Moony's been acting so sullen lately. I have the possibility of going out and fighting sometime soon. Until Voldermort's given up on the whole werewolf thing then Moony's going to have to stay, holed up in here. Not that being at Headquarters is bad or anything. Sure, the rooms are small, but they seem to sleep lots of people, and there's always lot of people dropping through. I should probably explain for the record that the marauders and Lily's friends are not the only members of the order of the phoenix. There are a whole lot of us, and we are probably the newest to join. Fresh out of Hogwarts.

Dumbledore was our headmaster there, and he's the founder of the order, a group of witches and wizards dedicated to fighting the Voldermort.

Ella is here, with Remus and I, without anything to do as of yet. I think that she's glad of that. She's cleaning the house a lot, which is important, as it's filthy. Apparently it used to be Dumbledore's, before he started at Hogwarts. Ella's also a wonderful cook. She's doing a good job at taking care of all of us.

Dani and Lily would never be able to do that. No offence girls, but you wouldn't. They need to be doing something out there, or they'll burst, Get too claustrophobic. But I admire Ella for what she's doing, and I don't think that Remus would be able to survive this if she wasn't here. Sometimes doing nothing is the bravest thing of all.

Not that I can say that about myself. I'm doing neither. I'm sitting here, writing down what brave things my friends do while they're out there doing it. Why can't I be the one out there? Doesn't Dumbledore trust me as much as he does the others? I've already proven what I'm capable of, why can't I be doing something useful? I suppose that Dumbledore has his reasons for using me to record this, but I sure wish that he didn't.

Now, back to what our friends are up to. I will put in here a copy of Sirius' last letter back to us. Her cant say much, the letter might be intercepted by Voldermort, but we can get the general vibe of how things are going, and he's pretty good at talking in code, even if only I can understand him.

Wait, I'll get Lily to help me put it in.

Dear Prongs, Moony, Fairy Princess and Scarlet Woman,

The dog and the Mrs' are great, we're all doing fine here. Weather is good. Or bad, we don't really know as of yet, but at least it's still cloudy, so I can play some Quidditch if I want to, and she wont get mad at me. Er, wizard whitebeard says that we should see you all again soon. Should be fun. We'll have a great time. Haven't seen Ratty Boy, has he been back there at all? Starting to worry about our furry little friend. And by that I mean ratty boy, not our friend with furry little problem. Worded other person wrong. This is getting confusing. Prongs, you still with me? Of course you're not, I'm with Doily. No, ok, she doesn't like that one either. Oops, I suppose that we should get going, my time is almost up, not in a sinister way, but in the way that I will be flying through the orchards with you all again soon. Hope that Moony's not going mad. Hang in there, all of you.

-Padfoot

That guy is the craziest person that I have ever met in my life.

Yeah, I know, but we've got to love him.

I know, I know. Can you actually understand that though James? I mean, seriously?

Yes, literally.

What?

You said seriously, and I said yes, really, Sirusly. Haha. Lily? You're not laughing.

Stop being stupid in the book!

Fine! And yes, I can understand that. He's talked like that for years; I had to learn Padfoot language.

Well then tell me what it all means.

He says hi to me, you, Ella and Remus. I can tell.

Scarlet woman?

Ella at a bloody Quidditch match.

Oh. I understand.

He reassures us that he and Dani are all right, but she doesn't like him referring to her as 'the Mrs'

Probably because she's not.

Well what else was he going to call her? The dog's girl friend? That would seem a little suss…

Agreed, continue.

Whether the whole mission is going good or bad, he can't tell, but at least they can still be happy, and have fun, because obviously they haven't stuffed up that bad, or they would know about it. Dumbledore says that they'll be done soon, and he'll send them back to stay with us for a while.

He asks if we have seen Wormtail at all, because they haven't, and he's beginning to worry about him. He should stop writing, and tells us again that he'll be seeing us soon. Then he tells Remus to stay calm, and not get too frustrated.

How the hell did you do that?

It's a gift. You can do amazing charms and I can read Sirius' writing.

Lucky you

I know, I know

I'd better go and help Ella in the kitchen. Frank and Alice might be stopping in for dinner, and Moody said that he wants to come around for a drink.

Par-tay

James!

Anyway Lily, why did you write that all down in here anyway, you could have just yelled it at me from over where you are? It's not like I can't hear you over here.

Now she's mouthing things at me, as if to say that I can't hear what she's saying from over there, even though I can.

Now, the Order of the Phoenix. The members, that was where I was up to. Now, I don't know all of the names of the members. I don't even think that I've been introduced to them all yet. I doubt that I ever will. But for the moment here are the ones that I've been introduced to by Dumbledore, or have ever stopped around for dinner.

Frank and Alice Longbottom were at school 4 years before us, and so they've been a part of the order for that long too. They're doing their training to become aurors, which I would like to do, by the way, although I have to wait until next year to get into the course. They were both in Griffindore, so we all know each other quite well, and get on a lot better than had they been in Slytherin. They were married last year.

Hagrid was the gamekeeper at Hogwarts, so we already know him too. We were pretty good friends actually, Hagrid the maunders and I. He had quite a time trying to keep us out of the forbidden forest mind you, but in the end we were great pals, and he helped us out of a few tight spots. In fact, if it wasn't for Hagrid then Lily and I might not have gotten together for quiet a while longer.

If you hadn't been such an arrogant little berk then we might have gotten together quite a while sooner.

Hey! You're back!

Ella's stressed, told me to get out of the kitchen…

Is she all right?

Is anyone all right these days?

What's that supposed to mean? Are you all right?

I suppose so. We're lucky, I guess, compared to what some of the other witches and wizards are going to come out of the war like. So far I haven't lost that many people who are close to me, as cruel as that sounds.

Not cruel. I know what you mean.

Thanks. I guess I'm ok so long as I'm here with you guys. The three of you are keeping me sane.

Was that a knock at the door?

Yes. Alice and Frank must be here.

I'd better go see them in. James, I'm scared about tomorrow.

You'll be with Dumbledore, you'll be fine.

Date: August 1st 1978

Report given by Alice Longbottom on the mission assigned to her and Frank Longbottom.

Where: St Mungos hospital

Dumbledore told us that we were to visit three patients. We didn't know them, but apparently they had been in St Mungos for a while now, because they were in the Order before we were.

One of them were crazy, staying in the permanent residents ward. It was the spookiest thing that has ever happened to me though. One of the men, not one that we were going to visit, but a stranger, lying in the bed next to her, looked at the both of us as though he had seen us before. Then he let out a howl of rage and sadness, and the nurse had to come over and calm him down.

"I'll see you soon, Frank and Alice."

He said to us, in a mystic manner. I was frightened as to how he knew our names, but tried not to let on. He slept, and the nurse explained something to us that just made the unpleasant encounter all the more confusing.

"He's in here because he thinks that he is a seer, and the predictions that he makes get him so maddened that he cant lead a normal life any more." I think she saw my horrified face, because she tried to reassure me.

"O no dear, don't think on any thing that he said, not for a minute." She laughed. "He says that he saw You Know Who defeated and rise from the dead as well! And he rambles on day and night something about killing a rat before it's too late! Not as though that would ever happen would it?" she laughed again, and continued to give them all dinner.

But I couldn't help but feel uneasy, as we visited the patient that Dumbledore had sent us to see. We set the flowers on the side of her bed, and I leaned forward, to where the tired looking woman lay.

'How are you feeling?" I asked her with the kindest voice that I could muster. She said nothing. We had been told that it was likely that this would happen, however, Dumbledore said that it was important that we continued to visit our people in hospital, as they could be trying to tell the order something and just not know how. If this was the case with this lady, then she didn't show it, in anyway. We left her there exactly as we had found her, lying there, looking at the ceiling, her eyes darting around the surface of the ceiling ceaselessly.

The next we had to visit was a man that was injured, and in the Dai Linden Ward. That's for bites and stings, things like that. He'd been bitten by a spider, by the sounds of it, and even though he wasn't in pain when we were there the bite looked nasty. He was acting strange though. Distant. I have a funny feeling about that man, and I think I'll tell Dumbledore, in case he's under the imperius curse.

The last person on the list to see was a man by the name of Edgar Bones, who should be out of Mungo's soon, though he still seems weak. He was sent to find something, he came face to face with three death eaters, and they put some sort of curse on him so that they could get away.

We had a good old chat to him, and he was a very nice person, but he also made me think. So many of the Order are gone. How long is it until there are no more of us left? And he agrees with Dumbledore. Someone here is a spy for the other side, and until we know who that is then they're always going to be one step ahead of us. I don't think I could stand it if I turned out to be shut up like the lady in the closed ward, staring at the ceiling, not remembering how to think…

-Alice Longbottom.
